Trials of Mana is getting a big update to celebrate 25 years
Square Enix have announced that Seiken Densetsu 3 is now 25 years old and while that might not mean much to most gamers, its english name, Trials of Mana will. The 3d remake of the game that released back in April 2020 is getting a big update, today, to celebrate the milestone of the original.
There are some new modes for players to enjoy including:
“No Future” Difficulty – This new difficulty level will put even the most experienced players to the test. This difficulty setting will allow players to challenge even stronger enemies and bosses with restrictions on certain abilities and item usage, as well as time limits on boss battles. Players can also obtain stronger versions of equipment and execute new chain abilities.
“Expert” Difficulty and Level Reset in New Game Plus – Players will have the option to select “Expert” as a difficulty setting when starting a New Game Plus playthrough. Additionally, the option to revert characters to level 1 when starting a New Game Plus playthrough has been added.
Costume Adjustments – Unlocked costumes can be accessed after resetting a character’s class or when starting a New Game Plus playthrough.
Addition of goddess statues to the map, bug fixes, and more.
If that was not enough for you those who complete the story available after completing the “No Future” difficulty mode will be rewarded with the “Rabite Slippers” equipment, which will allow players to traverse fields and dungeons without encountering enemies.
Finally, the game is going on sale, as well as various collections and other Mana related games, so check digital stores for the discounts and as a final treat, if you can call it that, Square Enix have also released a bunch of Zoom backgrounds, giving you plenty of options to make it look like you are not working.
